Moving a Docker Container's Data Folder to Another Share

[Revvioli]

Hi all, 

 

When I first started using Unraid a little over a year ago, for some reason, when I installed Kavita, I set the data directory to where I store my media instead of the actual appdata share. I haven't had any issues with it there, but I would like to move it to its proper share.

 

So, I was wondering what the best approach would be to move it from essentially my media share to the appdata share?

 

I was thinking of backing up the appdata-relevant info, uninstalling Kavita, deleting the leftover files, reinstalling it properly, and replacing the fresh install with the backed-up data.

 

But I figured it doesn't hurt to ask before doing so, just in case there is a better process.

 

Thanks!

You should be able to simply do:

• Stop the docker container
• Move the data to its new location.
• Edit the volume mappings for the container to point to the new location on the host side.
• restart the container.
